The Song Is You episode six

Happy New Year, and welcome to 2016. We have some films for first-footing, a song for the season, and a look back at my take on the big news stories of the year. But last year was, of course, Frank Sinatra's centennial, and, before we finally close the book on 2015, here for the New Year holiday weekend is one last episode of The Song Is You. In this ancillary series to our Sinatra Songs of the Week, composers and lyricists tell the stories behind some of the great standards Sinatra sang. This ...

A Three-Hundred-and-Sixty-Se'nnight of Steyn, 2015

In case you missed it, here's how the last year looked to Mark: JANUARY Wednesday January 7th was the first day of the Jihadist New Year in Europe. They slaughtered virtually the entire senior editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo, and launched what would prove a very rough year for free speech. Steyn reflected on the words of Charlie's late editor - "I'd rather die standing than live on my knees" - and then, on Megyn Kelly's show that evening, regretted that so few others in the media felt the same ...

Predators for Hillary

It's odd the things that catch the eye of the Internet. My comparison of Bill Cosby and Bill Clinton was a throwaway aside on yesterday's Rush Limbaugh Show. I spent less time on it than on the question of whether President Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick (NBC's Lisa Myers to Mrs Broaddrick: "The good news is you're credible. The bad news is you're very credible") or on the fact that more recently Clinton was a frequent guest of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who flew the former President on ...

Societal Stockholm Syndrome

My friend Ingrid Carlqvist, whom I had the great pleasure to see during my trip to Copenhagen for the Motoon anniversary, provides a round-up from Sweden of a month in multiculturalism. Scandinavia is much admired by Bernie Sanders and other liberal progressives as the natural end-point of civilized societies. Sanders et al neglect the most salient feature of these Nordic boutique states: They are highly developed societies with a small population (Sweden has just under ten million people, ...

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?

Happy New Year to you and yours. We have some movies for the occasion, and we will ring out the old more formally later today. ~Meanwhile, and Mainewhile, Maine reader Charles Lagerborn wins the prize for the last Steyn sighting of 2015: Dear Sir, I was out tonight with my family at Delvinos, a local Italian joint here in Belfast, Maine, and I saw someone I thought looked a lot like you. Did not want to be an ass and interrupt your meal, but I wonder if it was you? I would have liked to shake ...
